Cotton Fields Songtext
von The Carter Family

When I was a little bitty baby My mamma would rock me in my cradle
In them old cotton fields back home

When I was a little bitty baby My mamma would rock me in my cradle
In them old cotton fields back home

Now when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can′t pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home


It was over in Arkansas The people asked me what
I'd come here for In them old cotton fields back home
It was over in Arkansas The people asked me what
I′d come here for In them old cotton fields back home

Now when them cotton bolls get rotten You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home

It may sound a little bit funny
But you can't make too much money In them old cotton fields back home
It may sound a little bit funny But you can′t make too much money
In them old cotton fields back home
Now when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can′t pick very much cotton In them old cotton fields back home
In them old cotton fields back home
